RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-575-1 with Lincoln, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,492,780 to provide mental health services and multi-dimensional family therapy for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and their families for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $746,390.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 34% Federal Medi-Cal, 8% County Mental Health Realignment and 58% Mental Health Services Act. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On October 9, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-575 with Lincoln to provide mental health services including multi-dimensional family treatment program for SED adolescents and their families, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Contract #74-575-1 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the Contractor to continue to provide mental health services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED adolescents will not have access to mental health services while the County solicited and engaged an alternative contractor. This delay could necessitate higher levels of care for those adolescents.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports two of the Board of Supervisors’ five children’s outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
